@rogerclunn: It seems to me that some decisions are made after extensive reading here..If I was running a business and he was the MD he would have been sacked yonks ago,,it all done on the hoof me thinks

@rogerclunn: Agree with you mate - said at the start of the season Jimmy couldn't pass the ball well enough for how he wants to play. Jimmy is a good squad man and deserves a new contract. It says something about how 'Experiment Holloway' is going that he is now the first name on the team sheet; after the amount of money and players lined up to replace him Jimmy should not be making the first team IMO.

@millllllllll: your right it does say a lot about the squad and even more about the manager! he's the one who's created the gloom, no one else. I dont think i'v ever seen any manager at any club cause such complete chaos and still keep his job. He's had over a year and we are in a worse mess, complete and utter bonkersness from selection to formations to the Dunney at centre back and captain saga to bringing people in who aint fit down to his latest stunt of making a 19 year old with 2 senior games under his belt captain. i think we picked the team last week, he got it off here!! They did play with a bit more spirit sat, god knows it could'nt have been worse! a measure of how far we've come under Holloway people have gone home quite happy after losing 3.1 at home. If only we could send him out on loan to one of our rivals, they would be sure to be relegated!! Word is we cant afford to sack him but not playing Chelsea has cost us £500,000. can we afford to keep him???

get him signed up on a new deal ASAP, will always run his heart out 100% every game even when
all the other so called 'proffesionals' are walking around looking like they should be on blackheath
playing for the Nags Head

This is Ollies way of 'connecting' with fans. He talks about being too loyal to players when we should of moved them on then gives Jimmy a new deal. His been great to watch over the years but isn't the future imo.

Another day another Holloway contradiction.Why has jimmy disappeared from matchday squads for vast periods of IHs tenure if he thinks he is so great? I don't begrudge jimmy a penny of the money he has earnt at Millwall but in all honesty we need players of better quality if we are to continue un the championship.

So who else we buying or having on loan Ollie , seems to have gone a bit quite on that front or is that it ?? Reference Fred, very good to see & pleased for the lad, can only be good for Millwall providing we can keep hold of him

He should be offered a new contract because he is a good squad player. Might not be good enough for a regular first team place but you know he will give 100% if he comes off the subs bench during a game. I think he is earmarked for a new contract anyway.

Jimmy is a great squad player, always reliable to give 100% heart and soul for the team... Speaking of which any chance of us getting Tony Craig back? Seems to be doing well at Brentford, natural leader that gives everything and with Briggs going we got no cover for Harding. Also handy as CB cover

how can anyone dislike or disaggree with this - holloway cannot integrate attack and defensive -- either we over commit and let in buckets of goals or we defend as 10 men like against Derby or Brighton - we do not do both because the manager has not coached the side well - in what way do facts get in the way of opinion

@Jim28: I honestly can't believe the staunch support he is still getting and that some still see him as the 'Messiah'. I still support my team and always will, whoever is in charge. I know that we are in a rock and a hard place about whether the club continue to back him or spend a lot of money to get rid of him. I HOPE desperately that he can and does turn it around. Even the strongest 'Ollieber' can't deny that so far his performance has been woeful, he contradicts himself continually, we are no further ahead either in results or performances or strength of squad than we were when he was appointed. That is an undeniable reality. Many people have accused many of our recent and indeed current players of being 'wage thiefs'. I think at a million pound a year and his performance so far we're not exactly getting value for money at the moment.

@Adsy77777: i dont think anyone thinks he's the messiah, but a lot of people think that its a pointless stance wanting him sacked, he wasn't my choice but the chairman wont sack him and i'd rather not be one of those muggy clubs who sack the manager once times get rough , supporting this band of strays is the best thing we can do as lovers of this old club , its all far from ideal but we're stuck with it at the moment.

@Adsy77777: @columbusblock
I'm not even discussing whether or not he should be sacked, but look at the amount of dislikes any poster gets if they point out his obvious failings this far. To be moved to dislike a post, surely you must oppose of what is being said?
I'm glad we don't have a trigger happy chairman, I know that it is unlikely that he won't see the season out at least but it seems to me that many are still, like Ollie, are in denial.

Abdou is the ideal pro..
Will give 100% every single game he plays, cares about the club, knows he isn't the most gifted player on the planet and accepts he will not play every game....
You can't not give him a new contract!!

A good man to man marker but only a squad player in truth. Not one to come off the subs bench and change a game. Having said that he's obviously done enough to warrant a new contract as per Ollie's comments and you really can't argue with that. Rather him than some of the others who are either wage thieves or are as sensitive as a pickpocket's fingers.

Holloway is desperate...he suddenly likes Jimmy he makes Sid captain and plays Jack Powell..and he cant wait to get Fred back...hes after getting the fans on his side....but its b******* 2 wins in 23 says everything Holloway you are the worst manager this club has ever had....

Well if that the case why did u drop him from a winning team earlier in the season. We all know how good jimming is but u not even had him in squad for half games so far and I know he fit as see him in training when I'm walking my dog.

The Den needs to become a fortress again. This is my main concern. Teams used to hate coming here, now we seem like pushovers. As fans we MUST stick together, and we stand by every player that puts on our shirt and scare the living daylights out of the opposition. Its the way Millwall should be.

IH you caaaant bring back Abdou.
IH you caaaant what you doing giving him a contract?
This is what some people on here have posted about Jimmy in recent weeks, and you say IH doesn't know what he's doing!?

this is holloways quote just before he left palace, sound familiar ?
Holloway made 16 signings over the summer and the former manager believes that has eroded the spirit of the squad, something he outlined during Monday's press conference. "We've lost five games since we named the [squad of] 25 and there's something wrong there," he said. "I don't feel we have the same spirit. That squad is what we've got till January, so they better buck up and learn to stick together."

I love Jimmy Abdou, has been my favourite Millwall player since bomber! Although I did used to think Jack Smith was better than he was given credit for and always preferred him at RB to Dunne (Going to get slaughtered for that).

@dobbers22:
I agree with you mate jack of all trades was a good player just stayed at the club slightly to long to be appreciated,
We should keep Jimmy as a squad player footballing teams like Derby / Norwich he should be the game plan to break teams down .

@kell: Smith found his level at League one. Problem is that some people on here give it the 'Millwall through and through' or 'Sweats blue blood' etc. etc.
All very poetic but in reality players like Smith, Dunne, Shittu etc. are not good enough for the Championship and the sooner we all drop this 'love a trier' syndrome the quicker we're going to climb the table.

@NICKOLA: I have never said anything like 'Millwall through and through' or 'Sweats blue blood' about him, but I just thought Jack had more going forward than Dunne, better positioning than Dunne, less reckless than Dunne and I remember a game where we had a CB sent off really early (think it was some bloke we had on a 1 month loan, and it was his debut and he never played for us again!) and Smith moved to CB and had a storming game against a couple of dangerous strikers that were towering over him. What made me want him to succeed more was the fact that a lot of the time I heard people slagging him off more than other players and I never thought he deserved that. Just because he came from Swindon on a free he was never good enough for some people. Essay over...

@Lincolnshire Lion: I'll be honest Lincolnshire, I'm a big Jimmy fan. He's been probably the most consistent player we've had over a number of years; but I accept he has his limitations and isn't necessarily in every starting line up but he shows 100% commitment every time and for that alone he deserves a new contract. Build the team around him however - at this level no.

@lion.ie: must be cos of his previous connection. You can lose as many games and, subsequently fans. You can turn a club upside down and inside out apparently. It's either that or it'll cost us too much to get rid.

At least someone is working hard for the team , more effort. Needed by rest of them though , bit of luck the new look team will gel by the reading game, and I'm all for giving the youngsters a go .....

Jimmy deserves a new contract. He never throws his toys out of the pram. Just gets on with it. Yes his passing isn't great but he's like dog with a bone never gives up a few of his teammates should take a leaf out of his book. Some people on here it's not a crime to praise one of our players.
